LIVE Q & A Session S2E10: Spotting Red Flags in abusive people part 2.
Send a text
Abuse rarely starts loud; it starts polished. We dive into how manipulation hides in plain sight—love bombing that feels like fate, gaslighting that erodes your memory, and public charm that masks private cruelty—so you can recognize patterns early and protect your peace. As survivors, we know the nervous system learns to survive first and connect later. That’s why we put clear language to the tactics that keep people stuck and pair it with practical tools to move from fear to safety.
We walk through the big red flags: isolation from friends and family, control disguised as care, blame for every problem, and the never-apology cycle that keeps you doubting yourself. Then we map how abuse escalates over time and what to watch for when threats creep in—leaving, taking the kids, or using your secrets as leverage. Along the way, we talk honestly about survivor realities: hypervigilance, triggers from sights or scents, and the tough truth that unhealed pain can spill into our own behavior. Accountability isn’t condemnation; it’s a path to dignity.
You’ll also get a simple, actionable safety plan: what to document, whom to tell, how to store essentials, and which hotlines to keep close. We share the National Domestic Violence Hotline, child abuse, sexual abuse, human trafficking resources, and 988 for crisis support, because help needs to be available the moment you reach for it. Most of all, we remind you that you’re not overreacting. Your signals are data. Boundaries are protection. Respect, repair, and reciprocity are the baseline, not the bonus.
If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so others can find these tools. Your voice can be the lifeline someone hears at the exact right time.
